Your favorite nougat type candy bar (like a Milky Way or Three Musketeers) can make a quick dessert sauce to serve over ice cream or cakes. Chop the candy into small pieces and place in a small saucepan with about 2 teaspoons of milk or cream. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly, and pour over dessert immediately.

Combine frosting mix, butter and corn syrup in top half of a double boiler. Add the milk slowly, whisking constantly. Place over simmering water and heat, stirring frequently, until sauce is creamy and smooth. Cool slightly and stir in marshmallows.

For a super easy caramel sauce, combine 1 package of vanilla caramels, unwrapped, with 1 cup of light cream. Melt in the microwave on medium power for 3 minutes and stir. Return to microwave and heat on medium for 1 minute intervals, stirring after each minute, until caramels are melted and smooth.

To make a basic fruit sauce, boil water and sugar together at a 1:2 ratio (1 part water to 2 parts sugar). After it boils and the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from heat and add chopped fruit of your choice.

Melt the chocolate and butter together over low heat, then stir in the sugar and milk. Cook over low heat until the sauce has thickened and is smooth. Then add the vanilla and sherry. The sherry isn't necessary, but adds a lovely rich taste.

Mix sugar with flour in saucepan; blend well. Add water and salt. Stir while cooking for 6 to 8 minutes. If too thick add a little more water. Remove from heat; stir in butter, cream, and vanilla to taste.
